Evans argues that responsible fideism, as exemplified by Kierkegaard, offers a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between faith and reason than many other approaches, and that it has the potential to provide a more satisfying account of religious knowledge. This volume delves into the intricate relationship between faith and reason, drawing inspiration from the works of Søren Kierkegaard and other prominent thinkers. C. Stephen Evans meticulously distinguishes between flawed forms of fideism that reject reason and responsible forms that harness reason to foster self-reflection. Evans articulates a Kierkegaardian perspective, arguing that genuine religious understanding is rooted in faith that transcends rational inquiry. The book explores three variants of responsible fideism. First, Evans examines faith without rational justification, illustrating this approach through the ideas of Alvin Plantinga and William James. Next, he analyzes faith as superior to reason, a stance exemplified by Thomas Aquinas and Immanuel Kant. Finally, Evans delves into the view that faith must defy societal norms of rationality, a position most clearly embodied in Kierkegaard's writings. Evans defends the Kierkegaardian stance by demonstrating how faith enables a critical examination of reason's limitations, which reason itself can acknowledge as valid. To further illuminate his discussion, Evans applies fideist perspectives to three classic topics in philosophy of religion: the existence of God, the problem of evil, and the verifiability of divine revelation. Ultimately, Evans contends that responsible fideism, as embodied by Kierkegaard, offers a more nuanced and satisfying understanding of the faith-reason dynamic than many alternative approaches.
